Instant Pot Kerala Goat Curry

You are going to love this melt-in-your-mouth goat curry. It only takes an hour or so to make this authentic Kerala goat curry in an electric pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot. The result: flavorful and tender meat in a spiced curry that tastes perfectly homemade.

I have a north Indian goat curry recipe on the blog, so I thought I’d share a south Indian recipe for goat curry too. This is a Keralite recipe and although both curries share similarities, they are also different in quite a few ways. In Kerala, most of the recipes call for some form of coconut, curry leaves and a spice blend known as either Kerala garam masala or meat masala. Meat masala is very different from the garam masala you might find in Indian stores or online so please do not substitute it! Here is my recipe for meat masala; since I share a lot of Keralite recipes on the blog, you’ll notice that I call for this blend often.

If you like my north Indian goat curry, then you will also like this Keralite goat curry. Both are equally delicious.

Have you noticed that I’ve been sharing a lot of Instant Pot recipes lately? I try to switch things up here on the blog but the truth is that I use this appliance all. the. time.

The only reason I use my stovetop these days is if I’m feeling nostalgic and want to watch as my food simmers in a dutch oven on the stovetop. I usually only do this on weekends. During the week, I am all about quick and easy meals. It’s crazy to me that I can now consider this goat curry “quick and easy” thanks to my electric pressure cooker. The fact is that the Instant Pot is a godsend for those of us who enjoy cooking Indian food (in fact, I wrote this article about why you should cook Indian food in an Instant Pot incase you’re interested).

Serve this goat curry over rice or with Indian flatbread. If you like this goat curry then you will love my Kerala goat pepper fry which is in my Indian Instant Pot cookbook! Enjoy!

Hi Radha! I would call your local Indian grocery store to see if they sell goat meat – typically they do. You might also look into buying directly from a farmer if that’s an option. As for washing the meat – I usually do rinse it before using. Hope that helps! Let me know if you make this and how it turns out for you 🙂

This is delicious. Turns out I don’t like goat (I wanted to, so I tried) but I substituted with a beef roast and my wife and I were more than pleased. I’m digging the curry leaves – never heard of them before now. Many thanks! -Joel
